Journey 2016

November 18-20 Saint Dominic Academy, 121 Gracelawn Road, Auburn

Event Overview: Journey is an annual retreat for high school youth who seek to grow and deepen their relationship with Jesus. The weekend offers the opportunity toembark on the journey with Jesus to more intimately encounter him, embrace his invitation and call, and to echo the Risen Lord with our lives! The celebration of Mass, perpetual eucharistic adoration and the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation will be offered throughout the weekend.

Bishop Robert Deeley will celebrate Mass with us at 11 a.m. on Saturday, and all parents and families are invited to join us for the closing Mass on Sunday at 12 noon. Lunch follows and departure is scheduled for 1 p.m. .
